Microsoft and Boot Campaign Host Pushup Event for Long-Term, High-paying jobs for our Veterans

Today, as part of National Military Appreciation Month, Microsoft hosted Pushups For Charity at the Microsoft Flagship Store in New York City.

The challenge featured some hard core fitness gurus, including: Staff Sergeant (Ret.) Johnny “Joey” Jones, Boot Campaign COO; J.W. Cortes, Marine veteran and actor on FOX TV’s “Gotham”; Steve Weatherford, Super Bowl Champion, 10-year NFL player; Chris Ryan, top fitness model and trainer on NBC’s “STRONG,” and our own Microsoft Software and Systems Academy (MSSA) graduate Jose Cruz. They will competed face-to-face to determine who can do the most pushups in 90 seconds.

Thank you to Wes Anderson, VP of U.S. Services, for hosting the LIVE event. The final 90-second challenge can be found on the Microsoft Military Affairs Facebook page.
